Changes of uric acid level in rat cerebral hemisphere after left middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion were studied by reversed‐phase HPLC with electrochemical detection. Uric acid level in the normal group was 2.98 nmol/g tissue. Uric acid concentration of the left hemisphere in the left MCA‐occluded group progressively increased after occlusion, and reached a maximum value of 67.26 nmol/g tissue 24 h after ischemia. Uric acid levels in the right hemisphere remained unchanged. Uric acid concentration of the left hemisphere in sham‐operated group was 9.29 nmol/g tissue 24 h after the operation.
